What’s the Difference Between a Cantilever Gate and a Roller Gate?

The primary distinction between a cantilever gate and a roller gate lies in their design and functionality. A cantilever gate is engineered with a built-in counterbalance system, allowing it to extend further and remain stable without requiring additional support at the base. This makes them ideal for larger openings where traditional gates might struggle with weight or alignment. In contrast, roller gates typically rely on tracks and wheels for movement, which can sometimes lead to more wear and tear over time. Cantilever gates are also known for their one-piece interlocked structure, which minimizes maintenance needs compared to conventional roller-sliding chain-link gates. While they may require more space than swing or vertical lift gates, they offer enhanced security, reliability, and ease of use, making them a popular choice for commercial and industrial applications.
